Jake Shane Does Therapuss Glam at the VMAs

Sep 13, 2024

The VMAs performers are going through a lot, so it’s great they had a therapist on stand by to vent to if needed. Jake Shane, the internet’s favorite amateur therapist (or therapuss, rather), attended this year’s VMAs and had some notable check-ins with the night's biggest stars: Chappell Roan, Anitta, Camila Cabello and Addison Rae, to name a few. But just because he was there asking the questions fans wanted to know doesn’t mean Shane couldn’t get a little glam himself.

Wearing a Sandro suit and a Patek Philippe watch, Shane was able to have his own star moment. After the year he’s had, he surely deserves it. Since going mega-viral for his historicalreenactments,” he launched a podcast "Therapuss," where he sits down with some of today’s biggest stars to get real on life, love and anxiety. Even though Shane digs into some tough topics, he always discusses them with the lovably chaotic ethos he’s known for.

That’s why we’re so thankful Shane decided to take PAPER behind the scenes and show us the reality (and chaos) of getting ready for the always iconic VMAs.
